Re: Stephensons?

I hadn't seen a Logan tent in many years, until I was at Patriot Hills in December (Antarctica). They were using a half-dozen of them for storage of gear and food that didn't have to be refrigerated (a smiley is needed here - outside air temperatures were below freezing, but they use an ice cave for still colder temperatures). We had a number of days with 50-60 knot gusty winds, and the Logans seemed to do just fine. You would think with their being so tall that they would suffer in the wind, but they didn't. They did flap a bit, but less than you might expect. I do know that my Black Diamond Megamid (pyramid shape, basically a shaped tarp) does surprisingly well in winds. Plus, not having a floor and needing only the center pole plus stakes (center pole can be an adjustable ski pole fully extended) it is really light - 3 pounds to sleep 4 people. Dig down into the snow to make standing head-height with sleeping platforms. There are a floor and an insect netting liner, but those add weight, so I never got them. There is a 1.5 pound version made of silcoat as well.
